Nope, just have the door on one of the long edges and the bottom

long side when you have done half the bottom and do the other half.

Ha ha ha ha!

Wota stunning line in rational argument you have there.

It's all your feeble argument deserves.

Must explain why you are making such a spectacular fool of
yourself going on and on and on with your mindless silly ****
that has no relevance what so ever to what the OP asked about.

Obviously completely blotto, as always.

reams of your desperate attempts at insults any 2 year
old could leave for dead flushed where they belong

The OP specifically asked what tool to use.

And didn’t say a damned thing about what works
best when its being done for paying customers.

Why not just for once take the word of those who have actually done
the job?

Because I have done the ****ing job a lot more often than you ever
have and done it fine with an electric plane and have
enough of a clue to be able to realise that someone like the OP
isnt going to be able to work out how much to take off with a
circular saw and is much safer doing it a bit at a time until the
door works fine, with an electric planer.

But you haven't done the job as often as I have.

Irrelevant to what is a lot safer for someone
who has never done a door before like the OP.

So, in your rant above

You never could bull**** and lie your way out of a wet paper bag.

I don't need to,

Yet you did anyway.

I know how to trim a door. I trim more doors in a year than you have in
your life.

Irrelevant to what works better for the OP who has never done
one before and doesn’t have any of the tools required to do that.

you claim "Because I have done the ****ing job a lot more often than you
ever have."

It isn't a claim, it’s a fact.

But when you come across someone who has trimmed more doors than you
could count its irrelevant?

Its completely irrelevant to what is SAFER FOR THE OP, ****wit.

Stop digging, halfwit.

Go and **** yourself, ****wit.

A circular saw & sawboard are much safer that a power planer.

Pigs arse it is when the power planer can be used to take
off a bit at a time until the door has been trimmed enough.

You're suggesting take a bit off, re hang door,

Nope, no need to rehang the door, just stand it up
on the new higher floor covering and see if its now
got where the hinges go a little lower than where
the hinges attach.

You bring bodging to a higher level.

There is no bodging involved there you pathetic
excuse for a lying bull**** artist. The worst that
can happen with that approach is that it looks
like its been trimmed enough but when you
hang the door again it turns out that it still
isnt quite enough because where you tried
isnt where the highest part of the new floor is
so all you have to do is take the door off again
and take a bit more off the bottom of the door.

Hardly the end of civilisation as we know it and
nothing even remotely like a bodge either.

And mostly find that it now is fine even
if it’s the first one the OP has ever done.

take a bit off, re hang door, take a bit off, re hang door. It would
take all day.

Not when you have enough of a ****ing clue
to not bother to rehang the door every time
you check if enough has been removed, even
if you were doing it.

It didn’t for anyone who has done it that way.

Getting the right amount off is dead simple.

Not for someone who has never done a door before.

Which you clearly haven't.

There you go again, face down in the ****ing mud, as always.

Do stop making a fool of yourself.

You're the one doing that, you silly little drunken ****wit.

What was it you said? "Wota stunning line in rational argument you have
there."

That ain't an argument, it’s a fact, ****wit.

Please examine your feet for bullet holes.

No need to check if you are face down in the
mud over that claim you just made, it's obvious.

Position door next to frame resting on a couple of spacers (pencils
work fine). Measure distance between hinge rebate and hinge. Remove
that amount from bottom. Perfect job.

Not if you want less gap than a pencil under the door.

Halfwit.

****wit.

The weight of the door pushes the pencils into the carpet slightly and
gives a perfect result.

Pity about when it's not carpet and that approach doesn’t.

Being a civilized and sophisticated country we have lots of carpet.

Ever a terminal ****wit such as yourself should have noticed that
there isnt just carpet where doors are in that soggy little frigid island.

reams of your desperate attempts at insults any 2 year

And the OP wouldn’t even think of doing it like that.

And the FAQ doesn’t even spell that out either.

And for the OP, there is a lot more work involved
in making a sawboard that he obviously doesn’t
have than just using an electric plane on the one
door he wants to do.

You can make a sawboard from scrap timber in 10 minutes, halfwit.

You don’t know that he has any scrap timber, ****wit.

As I said, we are a civilized and sophisticated country. We have plenty
of places where you can buy offcuts of timber.

No need to bother for just the one door, ****wit.
